Label Under Construction: Experimental Fashion by Luca Laurini

Founded in Perugia in 2003 by Luca Laurini, Label Under Construction (L.U.C.) embodies a creative philosophy centered on ongoing research into yarns, fabrics, and structural shapes. Raised in a family with deep roots in knitwear production, Laurini honed his technical expertise at Polimoda in Florence and FIT in New York. Guided by a lifelong passion for architecture and structural design, his label conceives fashion not as seasonal apparel, but as an evolving artistic project.

Art, Architecture, and Conceptual Collections

The design language of Label Under Construction draws strong inspiration from fine arts and architectural concepts, referencing movements like Optical Art and Arte Povera, as well as masters such as Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana. This artistic vision comes to life in iconic conceptual series:

• The Signals Collection: Inspired by Morse code, translating dots and dashes into intricate graphic and textile techniques directly woven into the garments.
• The Metamorfosi Collection: Built around vintage military fabrics and upcycled textiles transformed through natural and chemical processes.

Natural Fabrics, Reversible Design, and Sophisticated Minimalism

Every piece in the L.U.C. catalog—from structured coats, jackets, and engineered pants to seamless t-shirts, sweaters, and the signature Label Under Construction beanie—is crafted using pure natural fibers including cashmere, silk, fine wool, and cotton. A hallmark of Laurini’s tailoring is the functional complexity hidden within simple, minimalist silhouettes: many garments are fully reversible, offering two distinct textures and finishes in a single piece. Defined by a dark, monochrome palette centered on black and refined shades of grey, L.U.C. delivers an urban, contemporary aesthetic designed for both men and unisex wearers.
